I'm going to skip a lot of the argumentative stuff like character generation and such. It's a Sakura in a Sakura. She has martial arts up her ass. No, you don't get to choose her path of ninja, samurai, merchant and such... because last time round, the votes waffled back and forth on what to do.

- Scholastic Knowledge
You can read and write. You have basic knowledge of where things are relative to Konoha on a map (geography). You are passable at calligraphy. Exceptional at math and logic. And very skilled at logic puzzles and memorizing patterns.

- Ki Awareness
You are aware of the surging energy within your body. An awareness that came into being at the shock of the Kyuubi attack on Konoha, and from the raw unspeakable murderous killing intent it unleashed.- Chakra/Ki Bounty
You have a healthy amount of chakra for a child your age.- Chaka/Ki Control
Your chakra control is AMAZING, your "techniques" do not waste much, if any, energy at all.

- Memories of a Dragon and the Demon within it
Burned within your soul are techniques of a martial arts style that would DAMN the soul of its practitioner; Ansatsuken. Considered one of the premiere martial arts styles in the world. To use it is to kill not just one's opponent, but their souls, and with such, its practitioner's own. It is said that one of its masters sealed away its killing intent to dilute it. Such a thing is laughable.- Memory of That Man
There is an image of a man in your mind. Tall and clad in white. Strong as a mountain, swift as the wind, quiet as a forest, and as daring as the flames of a fire. A man who smiled as he signed a picture for a girl. He didn't need to do it, but he did it because he could. That picture would come to mean everything for that girl. Enough that she left her home to follow after him.

- Taijutsu [Saikyo-Ryuu]
The Taijutsu style practiced by your mother supplemented with recollections of lessons in a dojo from another life.Gadouken - Gather your chakra in one palm and throw it at opponent. [D rank]Koryuken - Focus your chakra in your fist and UPPERCUT! [D rank]Dankukyaku - Leaping Kick. Starts with a rising knee kick. [D rank]Tsunami of Stone Death - Ram->Ox Seals, punch stone and get a wave of stone death. [C rank]Hissho Buraiken - A series of punches and kicks that ends with Kouryuken. Chakra infusion of your strikes make this technique lethal. [C rank]Haoh Gadouken - A greater version of Gadoken that uses both arms to gather chakra and fire it at close by opponents. Can be combined with Hissho Buraiken. [C rank]Koryuu Rekka - A more potent variant of Koryuken, this technique is basically multiple Koryuken performed in sequence, rising vertically. [C rank]

- Taijutsu [Sakura School of Ansatsuken / Sakura no Shin Ken]
Your soul is old. Far older than your body and the knowledge within it is dangerous for your body.Enhancement - You are now physically mature enough to practice the style with chakra [ki] enhancement techniques; such as punches, kicks, and blocking. You can destroy trees with kicks and punches, granted it takes a few hits to do so. [D rank]Killing Intent - You can look at deadly beasts, humans and just make them realize how close you are to killing them. [C rank]Aura of Sakura - You can "spend" chakra, or rather allow some of your chakra to escape your control while doing techniques. This allows you an purplish pink aura, and the ability to form Sakura in kanji on your back out of pure chakra. No meaningful cost in chakra. [E rank]True Enhancement - You are able to momentarily enhance and reinforce your body to the point where you can strike with the force of [C rank] jutsu as well as defend against such. You do however have to spend ??? chakra to do so per attack or defense.

You can bump the technique up to [A rank] by spending 1/2 your current chakra reserves for a single attack or defense. [C+ rank]Shou'ouken - Gather chakra into your fist and charge!

[C rank]Shunpukyaku - A spinning kick that takes you in an upward motion before coming back down, if it hits the target, the last kick will launch him away from you. [C rank]Kongou Kokuretsu Zan (false) - You gather and concentrate the chakra in the environment around you to mix it with your chakra in your fist before punching the ground and lancing it downwards. This causes a reaction with the natural energies in the world, and it erupts back upwards. [B rank]

- Mother's Approval
Your mother thinks you are CLEARLY prodigy level given how you soak up techniques and knowledge.

- Heir to Nobility
- Apparently, the Haruno clan are wealthy and possess noble status. Or at least your grandfather is. There is only the "small" problem of your father and grandfather not being on speaking terms.

Once upon a time, long ago, it was said that demons and gods walked the land alongside humans. It was, according to some accounts, a golden age where man respected the gods and demons alike, and they uplifted man, fought for them, defended them.

No one would say why that long ago golden age ended, only that it did. It ended in fire.

From the ashes, man rose with the art and power of Chakra.

As was the nature of humanity, conflict arose as clans formed with their specialties.

Thus did the warring ages begin.

This was something you had learned as a child... stories told, stories learned. And yet... something in you disagreed with it. Refused it as something said in error.

And there was the matter of the dreams.

You dreamed [remembered] [BURNING], your will and soul raging ever stronger, [feeding] on itself to burn ever higher. From that power came that familiar surge, that feeling of immortality. Of invincibility.

You could not be stopped.

Your will spoke loudly to the world, and the world knelt in submission to your might.

But the illusion of your ascendency is shattered by a single pulse.

You could feel coldness moving up your arms and legs, even as the fire in your heart gutted out from the shock of that blow...

Darkness crept up on you, the world faded into darkness.

And you slipped...

Into darkness...

Nothingness...

But even in the darkness, a glimmer of your inner spark still burned. Hoarding its last embers of its strength.

Not even death would stop you.

No.

You would endure...

But even the least of flames can gutter out.

Without fuel. Without [stimulation].

And.

There was nothing but darkness.

You are one with the darkness. The darkness is all that exists.

And it is you. You are it. And thus. You are the world.

...

...

...

An endless eternity later... there was the sound of chimes. Metal against metal ringing in patterns that beckoned you. Called to you.

And you woke up with a yawn, the sun rising in the distant east.

You could feel stickiness on your eyelids that you rubbed away with a hand. The ringing echoed in your head and your mouth tasted like something horrible had crapped in it and then died to rot. Perhaps, it hadn't been the best of ideas to stay up late to study

You stumbled out of bed, wincing at the cold floor. You had to be awake now.

This was the big day, and you were NOT going to be late for your genin exam. You had heard the horror stories of the students who had been late, who had failed and so on... and you were NOT going to be one of those students that the younger grades would talk about. No, thank you.

You stumble into your home's washroom and start your morning absolution; making sure that your long and luxurious pink hair was immaculate, that you didn't have any bags under your sparkling green eyes.

Perfect.

You slip into your customary outfit and dashed off to the academy, a steamed bun with meat in your mouth as you ran. Your mother had left breakfast for you on the table, your father was off at work at his warehouse.

You had an exam to be at, and you were going to ace it like everything else you did.

Specialization
Pick One of the Following, this is Extra Skills that she has access to.
[X] Theory [MEDIUM - You have the knowledge base of a Chuunin, if not the practical experience or jutsu library]
[X] Ninjutsu [BASIC - Perfect mastery of Henge no Jutsu, kawarimi no Jutsu, Bunshin no Jutsu]
[X] Genjutsu [BASIC - Knows how to detect genjutsu, and to dispel up to D-rank genjutsu with Kai]
[X] Taijutsu [ADVANCED - Perfect Mastery of Academy Taijutsu style, Basic knowledge of Saikyo-Ryuu and Sakura no Shin Ken style]
[X] Fuuinjutsu [BASIC - Knows how to make D-rank explosive notes]
[X] Kenjutsu [BASIC - Grandpa taught you how to wave a sword about when you were younger]

You quickly wolf down the chicken meat bun as you ran, making sure to clean out your mouth with warm tea in your water bottle.

The years have been kind to you as you had worked out the most... efficient route between home and school, all the little back alleys and hidden pathways that are surprising and lead one to interesting places IF they were willing to explore.

The route you took would save you a good ten or so minutes easily... all you had to do was go down certain back alleys, go up walls, run along said walls between houses, gardens, go over that abandoned apartment building and finally down in between the orphanage and the rice warehouse.

As you shimmied out between the buildings, the sun blinded you temporarily, before you cleared with blinks and shakes of your head.

The Hokage tower loomed over you, built as it was over the academy.

Based on how high the sun was, the fact that the other students were still entering the academy, you were on time. Which was to say, you were early and in theory could scope out the territory you had to go into, study the civilians to infiltrate, and so on...

You settled for refilling your empty water bottle with water from one of the taps just outside before heading to your classroom.

The noise level wasn't too loud, however, the classroom held a certain tension. This was... as they said, the day. The big one, where a quick written exam followed by a test of the basic three, would see academy students graduated to genin. Failing at this stage would be... embarrassing for any student as it took actual work to fail.

Certainly, you weren't tensed about the exam. You knew you could pass it. What you were excited about was the sight of the headbands on the table by the podium at the front of the classroom.

This day would mark the day you became an adult.

Where you could do things you couldn't before, like buy actual kunai, or gain access to the training grounds forbidden to civilians and academy students. And not that you wanted to, you could even do things like buy lottery tickets and sake. True, they weren't against the shinobi code of conducts, but the proper virtues of a shinobi said you shouldn't, and thus... you wouldn't.

What Do?
Pick One.
[X] Go sit by yourself and wait, like you normally did... you were a wallflower socially.
[X] Go hang out with your best friend, Ino. The two of you were best friends who worked well together.
[X] Go hang out with your friend, Naruto. The Uzumaki princess was fun to hang out with.
[X] Go hang out with your friend, Hinata. She might be the Hyuuga princess, but she needed someone to draw her out of her shell.
[X] Go hang out with Sasuke... you're fairly certain that he's a friend... kind of? The other girls were rather jealous thou.

Looking about the classroom, you see your fellow students clustered about in their little cliques; Naruto with the Uchiha boy, Shikamaru lazing at his desk with a heavily snacking Chouji, Ami the mean girl with those hurtful words and her minions... ah... you spot Hinata hiding out in the corner opposite to bug boy, Shino.

You smiled and walked up to the Hyuuga 'princess'... who was busy scribbling or writing in her notebook.

"Morning Sakura." The tone of voice from Hinata showed that despite knowing you were there, that she really wasn't paying any attention to her surroundings. Instead, she was busy writing one of her... stories.

Your inner voice had made note that if she wasn't a nin, and the heir to the Hyuuga family and all that, she would likely be a [hikikomori] or a hermit... but one that did not focus on the Chakra within her and in the world outside.

No, it was worse... she would have been a [fujoshi], a rotten girl.

[No, she's definitely a fujoshi, and not a would have been... or at least, worse than the ones in my times. Trust me on this.] came a quiet whisper from the depths of your mind. [Even if she's not a hikikomori.]

"Morning Hinata, can I... see?" You had to ask... worse, you had to see what depraved writing she had gotten up to... before Iruka-sensei or worse Mizuki-sensei did. They had never quite forgiven her for some of the 'works' that Hinata had done.

"Sure!" A radiant smile was directed your way at the mention of you reading what she had been writing. A smile that bought foreboding.

Gingerly, you took her notebook and started to rea....

It was worse than you had expected.

This time, it was of you... and... Ino. Your best friend... doing this and that... with you.

Your face heated up as you could not help yourself but read the horrifying words before you.

[Yeah... she's definitely worse than Kei... way worse.]

You could feel a twitch beneath your eye form as you looked at your friend. You would be nice... really, you could do this. "Hinata... I... don't think the things in here are even physically possible."

As you twitched, the notebook was plucked out of your hand.

You had a single desperate moment to look at the one who was now reading it as your breath caught. It wasn't Iruka-sensei or Mizuki-sensei, worse... it was Ino.

"Huh... I have to agree with Sakura," the blonde spoke up after quickly reading the notebook. "Definitely... not physically possible. Sakura isn't that flexible, you know. And she gets embarrassed way too easily for this scenario."

....

You were fairly certain you were in hell and there was no escape.

Which was when Iruka-sensei coughed loudly from the front of the room to get everyone's attentions.

You had to look at your teachers with tears in your eyes. Truly, you were saved by them.

"It's exam time."
